Alarmshock: A Locking Wearable Alarm. Get Up Or Get Shocked.

Alarmshock™, a revolutionary new wearable that shocks sleepers if they do not get straight up and opt for the snooze button instead, is live on Kickstarter and raising funds to bring the project to life.

When you have to wake up early for a long day, the snooze button can be your best friend. You are just not ready to get out of bed and face the day yet. Plus, your bed is, like, so comfy. The Alarmshock, however, wants to end that by threatening to shock you.

You wear the Alarmshock band, which locks to your wrist, to bed. Once the alarm goes off in the morning, you have two minutes to unlock it and turn off the alarm by tapping it on the top of the Alarmshock dock, which you keep in a separate room, forcing you to physically get up and get moving.

Alarmshock was designed for the ‘Chronic Snoozer’ to ensure users never miss an important meeting, appointment, or opportunity to accomplish something amazing at the start of their day.

The electric shocks are equivalent to that of a TENS machine, which tends to be used for nerve stimulation. However, the longer you stay in bed, the more powerful and frequent the shocks get. It’s hard to imagine someone not waking up immediately after the first shock, but maybe you had a particularly late night or are a heavy sleeper.

Now, Alarmshock wants to make it clear that the goal is to never wake you up with the shock. First, there’s a regular alarm and a vibration on the band; an attempt to gently wake you up. It’s when you ignore them that you feel the wrath of Alarmshock.

Alarmshock takes the emotion out of getting up. Logical thinking completely takes over causing them to be more concerned about getting to the docking station and avoiding a shock. This results in the user getting up when their alarm goes off, rather than hitting the snooze button. Completely avoiding morning battles with the duvet.

For years, inventors and businesses have been coming up with different ways to wake people up. Everything currently on the market only wakes the user up. Alarmshock takes this a step further by forcing the wearer not just to wake up but get up. A true innovation, that helps users become more productive in their lives. By getting up at the same time every day, people can train themselves with a reliable sleep pattern that over time makes it easier and easier to get up. “Here at Alarmshock we realized the difference between waking up and getting up,” says founder Callum.

Time is our most precious currency. if a person was to set there Alarmshock™ an hour early to exercise, be creative or prepare for something great. Over fifty years that all adds up to well over a year in time. Who knows what potential Alarmshock™ can take back from the snooze button.
